Coupons may be moncysavers but only when you use them for products that you had planned to purchase. Check items off your list as you select them. Stick to your list, but don't hesitate to substitute if you find a better buy. Compare cost of different forms of food brands and packages. Unit pricing helps to quickly compare prices. To And the best buy divide the price by the number of measurable units. This information is found on unit price stickers or signs posted on the shelf near the item.

Spoiled food means wasted dollars. Boxwoods work well for local lands caping In America, boxwoods (Buxus sp.) have long been associated with colonial architecture and the for mal and informal gardens in the Coastal Plain, Piedmont and Mountain areas of North Carolina. Their dense, compact habit of growth, glossy evergreen foliage and suitability for formal and in formal landscaping make box woods a favorite of homeowners, landscape contractors and nurserymen. Although used extensively, homeowners need to be aware of potential planting, maintenance, insect and disease problems. flaitiil Site and Soil Re qainwflli Boxwoods should only be planted in well drained soils. They should never be planted near downspouts, under the dripline of a roof or in any area that stays wet. While boxwoods will live in locations which receive full sun, they grow best in semi-shade. Some organic matter (peat, leaf compost, pine bark) should be worked into the soil. Extension m News W^m Willie Featherstone /r County Extension Chairman A soil sample should be taken four to six weeks before planting. Boxwoods grow in soils ranging from slightly acid to slightly alkaline (pH 5.5-7.5). Based upon a soil analysis the proper amount of lime and fer tilizer can be added to the area to provide proper nutrition for good plant growth. Fertilization Soil tests are necessary to establish a proper fertilization pro gram. Four to 6 weeks prior to fer tilizing, soil samples should be taken from several places in the area where boxwoods are planted. Soil sample boxes, information sheets and assistance in taking your samples can be obtained from your local County Agricultural Ex tension Agent. Based upon the soil analysis results, a recommendation will be made as to the amount and analysis of fertilizer that should be used for your boxwood planting. In Hoke County boxwoods should be fertilized twice during the growing season. The initial fer tilizer application should be made in early spring before plant shoot growth starts. The second application should be made in late June or early July. Avoid applying any fertilizer to boxwoods in late summer since it can force late tender growth which is extremely susceptible to frost damage. Shearing and Praning Shearing is the anlform removal of all or part of the latest flush of plant growth. Plants are sheared to increase compactness or to main tain a specified size of shape. During the first few years after planting, boxwoods should be sheared after each flush of growth to encourage additional branch development. Thereafter, they should only be sheared to maintain (See BOXWOODS, page 7) ? -- ? - I It-' -o- t t-mh miqpriiw in?" rn il" ipwt '" "2ri ?st7?? vSItT?
